The Watershed - V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

The Watershed at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is a vibrant market and design hub that showcases the best of South African creativity and craftsmanship. Housed in a spacious, repurposed warehouse, the Watershed features over 150 stalls and more than 365 brands, offering a diverse array of locally-made products, including fashion, jewelry, home décor, and art. The space is celebrated for its commitment to supporting local artisans and entrepreneurs, making it a key destination for both locals and tourists looking for unique, high-quality South African products. The design of the Watershed itself is striking, with a bright and airy interior, exposed beams, and industrial-chic touches, creating a lively atmosphere that complements the creativity on display. It's not just a shopping experience but also a cultural one, as the Watershed often hosts exhibitions, workshops, and events that further highlight the rich artistic talent in the region.

The Watershed at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town originated as part of the V&A Waterfront’s broader redevelopment strategy to enhance the area as a hub for arts, culture, and commerce. Officially opened in 2014, the Watershed was transformed from an old warehouse into a vibrant marketplace, designed to showcase the creativity and innovation of South African artisans and designers. The space was developed with a focus on sustainability and community, providing over 150 small businesses with a platform to sell their unique, locally made products, ranging from fashion and jewelry to art and homeware. This initiative not only revitalized the space but also contributed to the growth of local entrepreneurship and the promotion of South African craft and design on an international stage.
